Tell me you hurt like I hurt
Eye for an eye
I found my universe
It's where I sleep
I found the key to it all
Suffer in peace
Wings of the phoenix crumble
Ashes to eat
Kaleidoscope is turning flowers in the air for me.

Find your peace
Pray it won't fall beside you
I won't fall in behind you
Won't you carry my soul away?
Tell your story how you want to
The truth's gonna find you
It'll sweep you away in your sleep
I don't mind stealing half the change
I hear you choking on air
Pumping adrenaline there
You love it when your vanity resembles your prayers
You bring out the best of the worst in me
Hold out hope for a god that's only mostly as weak as me
I don't mind stealing half the change
With our habit to point out every last detail
We reveal subconscious tendencies to disregard ourselves
In a time where we should listen for what wasn't said
It's no surprise our results weren't close to what we planned

Come Down
02:13
|

Handfuls of the medicine
Spring is in my head again
Eyes turned to the sky turn red
Scrape the wall I'm backed against
Low, low, mania, low
Breathe out or come down
You wind down
You'll wait for me
Breathe in the fallout
Come sundown, you'll come to me
Low, low, mania, low

Hang me on a wire
Leave me spinning indefinitely
I'm a halo for hire
To leave by the bed on the floor while you sleep
I'm still here
Bruises changing color
We swing and we sway to the yellows and greys
The spaces in the fixtures
The day after day we hang onto in spite of the change
Ant beds on fire
We're tied to the wire
The look on your face appeared to say
"Tell me you're there"
So lonesome and tired
All smiles in the end
When we play pretend
And when I say
Heaven's wherever you are
Where everyone waltzes through everyone's pain
And everyone's waiting on everyone to lie
Hands that tie together
Hands made for shaking stay bound to the fray
We're tied to one another
We can't come together
We never learn a better way

Hanging by the Snake
02:52
|
|||
|
Fear and honest tongues
They travel separately instead
Grieving hearts make up the scenery
In such desolate places, they remind me that you're
Fed 'til it don't even cross your mind
You're hanging by the snake
Fate is a name for the most calloused of hands
Hanging on too tightly will just do that to a man

Heart is ticking slow and straight
In twos and ones it goes
Ringing drones and drowns me out
Into the throes I go, here goes
The sun is mine.
Feel defeated and fall to pieces with me
We'll keep on swiftly defeating ourselves
Ears are ringing and temples, beating
Keep hanging by these snakes
Days and days keep sleeplessly dreaming
Keep telling myself I'm wide awake
The sun is mine.
Feel defeated and fall to pieces with me
We'll keep on swiftly defeating ourselves

How Precious
04:14

I'm the worst at tying up loose ends
Tell your boys where to find me
The only calls I get come from the credit collectors
I'm the hottest commodity in town
When I'm down
No one's been taken for granted
Like you've been taken for granted
How precious
No exits
I'm talking in circles again
In my head
Sleeplessness says
We're collecting like the heat between celestial bodies
Even someone like me might want a little bit more
Well, the only calls I get come from the credit collectors
I'm the hottest commodity in town
When I'm down

Alive Again
03:20
|

|
You've clouded your own view
Seeing in greys and blues
And all along, you say you don't
In spite of you
I've been shutting out myself
I've been lying about my health
I keep on and on and on and on in spite of it
But you know better
Get up, stand, and walk it off
Before it walks all over you
Pick your teeth up, wipe the blood
Break the wall in two
Come alive again
The words stay trapped inside your mouth
It's choke or choke them down
When you're sick and fucking fed up with yourself
You spit them out
Hang your halo where I hang my head
Where I'm caught up inside the wave again

Call Me
05:15
|

|
I'm spinning inside of my skin again
Holding hands and hearts intact
Taking dares to turn my back
I'm clutching my end of this bet again
Daydreams in a filthy bed
Made up memories on the spot
I know it's gone, but tell me one more time
Come home, plan to waste just one more night
Make calls just to hang them up
You leave it just to bring it up in broad daylight
Show me something I don't need to know again
I'm kicking up dust in my head again
Shackles rusted to the floor
Sweating, churning, heaving, sore
Holes I'm wearing out into my skin again
Dragging innocence for miles
Weight of this lake will break my spine
I'm spinning inside of my skin again
Holding hands and hearts intact
Call your bluff, I turn my back, I know
It's gone, but tell me one more time
Get home late, wasted one more fucking night
Make calls just to hang them up
You drop it just to bring it up in broad daylight
Show me something I don't need to know again
I'm wide awake. I let you out,
You hold me down but don't see how.

I've never felt so alive
Your hands stay tied 'til two AM
You've never felt this drive
Until you're driving alone, talking at me
You turn and run so suddenly.
You're living spinning in roses
Poetry in motion
That's how you would want it, I know
So whatever kept me floating on, I'm over
And whatever kept me hanging on, come and take it from me
You turn and run so suddenly.

Decades turn into days
Hands reach to the sun
Hold these words in your hands
Hold me under your gun
Pull through the days since I've been driving out my mind
The silence was golden
Follow the smoke and break these worn out chains
But the pressure keeps growing
Keep clawing
'Til you bury yourself
Reach between the frames to see what's holding me back
I'm wasting time
When the raining is done
Pile the mud and uncover the noose
To loosen the knot
Feel the air as it pushes through
That's me coming alive
It begins to rust inside you
Feeling buried alive
I'm what holds me down
Keep clawing
'Til you bury yourself
Reach between the frames to see what's holding me back
I'm wasting time
Time turns inside out
Head in my hands
Will I keep holding me down?
